I hate how dentists charge so much. I think it's because they know the damage you do is irreversible. That's why I'll never hire a personal trainer. Cardio and some weights with a balanced diet always works.

Dentists are a rip off, but so is the whole medical field in general if you want to get technical about it. Why’s it cost like 10 grand for an ambulance ride to the hospital? They using jet fuel in that motherfucker or something?

In the UK we have free medical help so the experience of all my treatment last week was completely free, but dentists here still charge so much. I think it's tax or something.

Pretty sure I caught my dentist scamming my insurance company sending charges for sh!t she didn't do. It's weird how the insurance checks came to my house and I had to go bring the checks to her wasn't the checks supposed to go to her automatically??? Felt something was fishy, but didn't bother looking into it.

Sounds fishy, man. And if it sounds fishy, it probably smells fishy, too.

Insurance industry is a BS kind of industry because it's based of agreed to book value billing.

Get a teeth cleaning (like I did a month ago) and it's something like $200 when I see the bill paid by company insurance. Xrays are another $40-ish. All in around $250. Pay cash (like I did a long time ago when I graduated school and wasn't working) and they were willing to do it all for about $90.

You know at the end of the cleaning, the hygienist says you're not done yet. Just need the dentist to take a quick check. The dentist comes in looks at your teeth for 15 seconds and says you're good to go. That costs money too. And any dental office saying you need to do the millionth Xray is overdoing it.

Why get an x-ray when a girlfriend can see right through you? :messenger_tears_of_joy:
